According to a letter from Jameis Winston’s lawyer, the woman who accused the Florida State quarterback of rape demanded $7 million in exchange for her silence.
David Cornwell, Winston’s lawyer, sent a letter to Florida State officials to inform them that his client will fully cooperate with their ongoing investigation. In the letter, Cornwell claims that the woman who accused Winston of rape demanded $7 million and in exchange she would never contact them again or speak to the media.

TMZ Sports obtained the letter and summarized the parts where Cornwell claims that the woman attempted to extort his client.
“According to the letter -- obtained by TMZ Sports -- the alleged victim's lawyer, Patricia Carroll, demanded $7 MIL to settle her client's claims against FSU and Winston, telling Cornwell, "If we settle, you will never hear from my client or me again -- in the press or anywhere."
Cornwell says he rejected her offer and 4 days later she went to the media.
Cornwell also says Carroll claimed her client's sexual encounter had to be rape, because she would never sleep with a "black boy." Fact is ... the alleged victim's boyfriend at the time was black. The criminal case fell apart, partly because the alleged victim had semen from 2 different men on her shorts.”
Cornwell ended the letter by saying that his client will cooperate fully with Florida State’s investigation, but only if it is a legitimate investigation.
